So the fairly good deal four burner Char-broil with limited lifetime burner replacement (ie you get one) is close to dead. Went on the Interwebs to find a forum to ask what should I get now, and dang if Google didn't send me here, a place I am already a member!
I grill year-round, even in freezing weather, with propane (throw the hair dryer next to the tank to keep it flowing). Mostly boneless skinless chicken breasts, fish, steaks, and burgers for no more than four people. I know, I know, I should really up my game, but it is hard enough to find time to brew given everything else going on in my life.
Recently I have gotten into doing steaks via the sous vide method for convenience, which really requires a good sear on the grill at the highest heat I can get to finish the process. So I am looking for something not too big that can blast a bunch of BTU's for a short time over one square foot. That is my primary objective right now.
We are in the 'downsizing' mode of life, so probably only need something that can get me through four years or so. Less than $500 would be nice.
Suggestions?
